'Horrible Bosses' filmmaker Seth Gordon has been confirmed to taken on directing duties and 'San Andreas' star Dwayne will produce the flick alongside his partner Dany Garcia under their joint venture Seven Bucks Productions.

The movie about Californian lifeguards is expected to enter production stages in the first few months of 2016 and the latest script was written by Damian Shannon & Mark Swift.

The story will see Dwayne take on the hero once again, as he plays on the role of the lifeguard and he has no choice but to work with a young lifeguard played by Zac.

Along the similar lines of 'San Andreas' Dwayne and Zac's characters will work together to protect the Californian beach from environmental destruction caused by an oil tycoon.

Mitch (Johnson) is a devoted life-saver who reluctantly recruits Matt (Efron), a disgraced champion who’s only doing it as a kind of community service. Plenty of good jokes, but minor characters almost drowning doesn’t make for good cinema, and the relentless formulaism makes it long outstay its welcome.
